Put your fashion foot forward

I have a presentation tonight at the London College of Fashion, discussing a career in consulting and how it could apply to those studying Fashion and Management. Whether or not this is of interest to those students, I have no idea. But, the big thing for me wasn't what I was going to say - it was what I was going to wear.A quick trolley dash down Oxford Street resulted in this...

Terrible photo of me and my room!Anyway, the jumper is the Annie Sparkle Crew, £65 from Whistles.Skirt is the Summer Shower Skirt, £110 from Whistles. (both available here)Worn with my kitten heeled 'Vamp' shoes from Zara (see this post).Usually I'm not a fan of spending this much on one or two items, BUT, there are two offers you can take advantage of:1. If you have an AMEX, sync it to your foursquare account, and then 'check-in' at House of Fraser to receive £25 off any purchase over £50. (although quick as this runs out today)2. Whistles (in store only, not concessions I believe) has 25% off with Grazia magazine. Either show the coupon in store, or if buying online, the code is "wh25ss13", so you don't even need to buy the magazine.So, I bought the jumper in HOF (£40, saving of £25), and the skirt from Whistles (£82.50, saving of £27.50). I'm not pretending it's cheap as it still totaled £122.50, but much better than the £175 at full RRP!
